Experts give advice to the more than 100,000 warned their personal data is in the hands of cyber-criminals.
And the criminals thought to be responsible for the MoveIt hack are notoriously ruthless with their extortion techniques."Some prior incidents involving these criminals have seen victims not contacted until weeks after data was stolen - so if you don't hear from them in the coming days, you are not in clear," Mandiant Intelligence senior manager Kimberly Goody says.
These demands are usually in the seven- or eight-figure range, Mandiant experts say, but there have been ones over $35m . And although some organisations, such as British Airways, say some staff bank details have been stolen, this was highly unlikely to lead to individuals' bank accounts being drained.
